~ Have you seen this week’s Globe? Well, if you have then you know the reality show scandal I’ve been hinting at is about American Idol. Even if you were shocked by the allegations made in the Globe cover story, you ain’t heard anything yet until you catch ABC’s Primetime Live and see John Stossel’s expose on the hit Fox series. Trust me when I tell you that the best is yet to come! The special has now been moved from this Thursday to May 5 because it’s so hot they wanted to wait until sweeps.
I will be glued to the tv for this one
After a brief search is the the dirty dirty.............
ABC News has discovered "startling" things about Fox's singing competition series "American Idol" -- just in time for the May sweeps!
In a news release more breathless than even an NBC promo for "ER" (you know, the ones that scream "a bomb goes off in the ER, Thursday at 10!!" only the "bomb" turns out to be some character having a nervous breakdown during his/her shift), ABC News announced yesterday that a special hour-long "Primetime Live" report "will explore explosive claims about behind-the-scenes activities at 'American Idol,' the hit television show that became a cultural phenomenon."

And, in a bit of understatement befitting a network news division, the special edition of "Primetime Live" has been titled "Fallen Idol."
ABC News had not contacted anyone at Fox with questions about "explosive claims" on "American Idol" as of presstime, according to a Fox rep. (However, ABC News has contacted public relations firm BWR, which represents the show, asking to interview the "American Idol" judges and the producers, the agency confirmed.)
The news release was unusually short and coy for a broadcast network news division, giving no indication of what these "explosive claims" are.
There have been lots of news reports lately about a book proposal from Corey Clark -- an "American Idol" contestant from a couple of editions back who was booted after the Web site the Smoking Gun posted a report saying he was due in court that month for allegedly assaulting his teenage sister and resisting arrest.
Clark claims in his book proposal that he had an affair with show judge Paula Abdul, and that she promised to help him pick tunes to sing during the competition and to spend millions promoting his career.
Oh, and Clark is preparing to release his first album.
This is going to be Interesting
